Imperial of Waikiki

A high-rise on Lewers Street one block from Waikiki Beach, with hotel-style valet, front desk and an ABC store at the door, and upper-floor balconies guests use for surf-watching and Friday fireworks. It suits couples who want to walk everywhere and still keep a car handy.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Valet parking that just works. Guests with rental cars keep praising the quick, friendly valet crew, which spares them hunting for parking in the middle of Waikiki.
  • Fireworks from the balcony. Friday night and New Year's fireworks are a recurring highlight, watched from high balconies or the building's rooftop lounge.
  • Hotel perks with a condo. Guests enjoy the bell and front desk staff, an owners' lounge and penthouse bar, and on-site lessons like ukulele, hula and lei making.
  • ABC store downstairs. An ABC store with prepared food sits on the ground floor next to a Denny's, and restaurants line the street right outside.

Worth knowing

  • A block back from the sand. The beach is a short walk away rather than out the door, which many guests like for the calmer feel, though you carry your gear down the street.
  • Views depend on height. Guests on high floors rave about the ocean outlook, but one notes a shorter hotel sits between the tower and the water, blocking lower floors.
  • An older, well-kept tower. The building is decades old but well kept, and only one passenger elevator reaches the very top floor.

We had great communication with Cindy, the property manager. The room was as described with a nice vintage Hawaiian vibe. We enjoyed the ukulele, hula, and lei lessons offered on site. The location is very convenient. The staff at Imperial Resort is amazing, they are friendly and kind. We hope to come back again!

Great locationValet parking incredibly efficient Requested and got late checkout so we had condo and parking until afternoon. Allowed us to do amazing catamaran cruise a block away before heading to the airport for our red eye flight Kitchen had GREAT stock of basic cooking supplies. Much appreciated as we mostly cook our own mealsWould recommend more forks. Ran dishwasher more often as kept running out

The property location was perfect - very convenient to shopping, restaurants, the beach and transportation. The staff made the check in process simple. The view was lovely and the condo was spotless and well appointed. The minor maintenance flaw the owner was unaware of was tended to quickly.

★★★★★ February 2026

We had a wonderful stay in this unit. The owner is very reachable and responsive. The place has great amenities, a convenience store on the ground level, as well as a Denney's. The unit was very clean and had all the kitchen equipment you will ever need. The view is outstanding overlooking the ocean from the 21st floor. The balcony was the perfect place to watch the Friday City fireworks. Location, location, location. No need for a car as everything is in walking distance. I would highly recommend this place and will not hesitate to stay there again.

Spent an amazing week enjoying so much in the area as well as day trips to the east and North shores of the island. Beaches on the east as well as the drive was incredible. It was overcast and raining one day so spent it exploring the North shore. You can not beat this area to stay. Restaurants, walking trails, beach and shopping are right at your doorstep. We spent New Year’s Eve on MaiTai Catamaran with fireworks and champagne. Highly recommend their sailings and they leave from the beach less than 400 ft from the condo. Valet parking was a breeze. Picked up groceries at Costco when we arrived and Target is around the corner. The condo has absolutely everything you could need. The beach chairs were especially appreciated. Spent many breakfasts and evenings on the lanai with cool breeze and ocean view. Thoroughly enjoyed this getaway for our 25th anniversary, Mahalo for sharing your special place with us.
